RD4: Role -Differentiated Cooperative Deceptive Data Detection and Filtering in VANETs
(IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 2010)The data quality of collected sensing data, which determines the practical value of sensing systems, has been studied in several previous efforts; however, we argue that vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), which are a ... -
Slight Homomorphic Signature for Access Controlling in Cloud Computing
(Wireless Personal Communications (WIRE), 2013)With the popularity of cloud computing, how to securely authenticate a user while not releasing a user's sensitive information becomes a challenge. In this paper, we introduce a slight homomorphic signature, which is ... -
Data Quality Challenges in Cyber-Physical Systems
(ACM Journal on Data and Information Quality, 2015)Recent emerging technologies, which integrate sensing, computation, communication, and control, have changed the way we observe and control the physical world. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) [Rajkumar et all. 2010] are ... -
A Secure Framework to Read Isolated Smart Grid Devices
(2016)With increasing deployment of smart grid systems, a large quantity of energy usage and grid status data have been collected by smart grid devices like smart meters. To secure these critical and sensitive data, it is crucial ... -
Security in Internet of Things: Opportunities and Challenges
(Proceeding of the International Conference on Identification, Information & Knowledge in the Internet of Things, 2016)Internet of Things (IoT) have become the most pervasive and largest computing platform nowadays. Security plays a more and more important role because of the nature of IoT systems that deal with people's daily life. IoT ... -
Diterpene biosynthesis by the dinoflagellate symbiont of the Caribbean gorgonian Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata
(Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005-11)Chemical analysis of the dinoflagellate symbiont of Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata (Verrill) revealed higher concentrations of kallolides and related diterpenes than are present in the intact holobiont. Further, biosynthetic ... -
Toxin secretion in response to oxidative stress and programmed cell death in the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa from the St. Lucie River, Florida
(Aquatic Toxicology, 2006)An unprecedented bloom of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz. occurred in the St. Lucie Estuary, FL in the summer of 2005. Samples were analyzed for toxicity by ELISA and by use of the polymerase chain reaction ... -
Comparison of two total RNA extraction protocols using the marine gorgonian coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and its symbiont Symbiodinium sp
(Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2006-10)Marine invertebrates such as soft corals are important sources of secondary metabolites with promising biomedical applications and commercial value. RNA isolation in conjunction with reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain ... -
Cryopreservation of the dinoflagellate symbiont of the octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae as a source of the pseudopterosins
(Marine Biology, 2007)In this paper we describe a cryopreservation protocol followed by the culture of Symbiodinium sp. isolated from the Caribbean gorgonian Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae as a potential renewable source of the dinoflagellate ... -
Diversity of the bacterial communities associated with the azooxanthellate deep water octocorals Leptogorgia minimata, Iciligorgia schrammi and Swiftia exertia
(Marine Biotechnology, 2007-10)This study examined the microbiota associated with the marine azooxanthellate octocorals Leptogorgia minimata, Swiftia exertia, and Iciligorgia schrammi collected from moderate depths (45 m). Traditional aerobic plate ... -
The diversity of the bacterial communities associated with the azooxanthellate deep water octocoral Cirrhipathes lutkeni
(International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal, 2007-12)This study examined the symbiotic microbiota of the hexacoral Cirrhipathes lutkeni using traditional plate culture, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and 16S rDNA characterization. FISH counts for the whole coral ... -

A microbial community analysis of the octocoral Eunicea fusca
(Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2012-08)While there is a significant and growing body of knowledge describing the microbial communities of marine invertebrates such as sponges, there are very few such studies focused on octocorals. The octocoral Eunicea fusca ... -
EdgeSec: Design of an Edge Layer Security Service to Enhance Internet of Things Security
(IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing, 2017)With the widespread availability of connected smart devices, Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the world's largest computing platform. These large-scale, heterogeneous, and resource-constrained devices bring many ... -
Energy Efficient Algorithms to Construct the Information Potential Field in WSNs
(IEEE Sensors Journal, 2017)The information gradient-based routing and navigation protocols have been proved to be effective when collecting data from the wireless sensor networks because the data collector can achieve the global objective through ... -
Cluster-based Quality-Aware Adaptive Data Compression for Streaming Data
(ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality, 2017)Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely applied in data collection applications. Energy efficiency is one of the most important design goals of WSNs. In this article, we examine the tradeoffs between the energy ... -
The Online Grade Book - "A Case Study in Learning about Object-Oriented Technology
(ACET Journal of Computer Education and Research, 2004)An object-oriented database is faster than a relational database, and it can store complex data more efficiently. However, object-oriented database technology is not as well-known as relational database technology. This ... -
Design of Distributed Computer Security
(Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, 2004)Across the US and the rest of the world, there exists a lack of computer security components in many CS/IT curricula. For those programs that do have such components in computer security, a common difficulty is to integrate ... -
